My main computer is my laptop (Xubuntu 13.10), which has a 512 GB SSD
with separate partitions for / and /home, and a 1 TB hybrid drive. I
use a simple script to perform a backup:
#!/bin/bash
sudo rdiff-backup
--include-globbing-filelist /home/jjj/rdiff_excludes.txt /
/media/jjj/Data/Backups/
Full_system_backup_Xubuntu-Bonobo 2> /home/jjj/rdiff-errors.txt
sudo rdiff-backup
--list-increment-sizes
/media/jjj/Data/Backups/Full_system_backup_Xubuntu-Bonobo
> /home/jjj/rdiff-stats.txt
(Please excuse the wrapping.)
The rdiff_excludes.txt file contains:
- /sys
- /media
- /mnt
- /tmp
- /proc
- /home/jjj/.gtkrc-1.2-gnome2/.gvfs
- /home/jjj/.gvfs
- /var/run/cups/cups.sock
- /var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5433
- /home/jjj/Distros
- **.iso
- **.ISO
When I ran the script just now it created the following
rdiff-errors.txt file, which previously has always been empty:
(All the "SpecialFileError" lines ended in "path too long," most of
which I truncated to keep the from wrapping.)
SpecialFileError dev/log Socket error: AF_UNIX path too long
SpecialFileError run/acpid.socket Socket error: AF_UNIX path too long
SpecialFileError run/avahi-daemon/socket Socket error: AF_UNIX path
SpecialFileError run/cups/cups.sock Socket error: AF_UNIX path
SpecialFileError run/dbus/system_bus_socket Socket error: AF_UNIX
SpecialFileError run/rpcbind.sock Socket error: AF_UNIX path too
SpecialFileError run/sdp Socket error: AF_UNIX path too long
SpecialFileError run/synaptic.socket Socket error: AF_UNIX path
SpecialFileError run/udev/control Socket error: AF_UNIX path too
ListError run/user/1000/dconf/user/gvfs [Errno 13] Permission
denied: '/run/user/1000/gvfs'
SpecialFileError run/user/1000/keyring-0biKnh/control Socket error:
AF_UNIX path too long
SpecialFileError run/user/1000/pulse/native Socket error: AF_UNIX path
SpecialFileError run/wpa_supplicant/wlan0 Socket error: AF_UNIX path
Also, I run the file with "./rdiff-backup_script," which immediately
prompts me with "[sudo] password for jjj:." But this time it stopped
and prompted me for the password again in the middle of the backup,
which it never did before.
The data from today's backup appears OK. But I should also mention that
I tend to rename the previous backup folder and alway do a new full
backup (I have lots of disk space), but today's backup was an
incremental backup. I suspect that may be what caused the errors, but I
don't understand why. I could use some clues here.
